A report upon the sanitary conveniences is usually
supplied to the Licensing Bench annually, and the very
satisfactory conditions which now exist are due in no small
measure to the support and co-operation afforded by the
Bench to your Council.
RAG FLOCK ACTS, 1911 AND 1928.
There are no known work-places in the town where
Rag Flock, or materials coming within the legal definition of
Rag Flock, are used. No samples of material were taken
for analysis.
SALE OF POISONS.
Twenty-two visits were made to premises other than
pharmacies to ascertain that the proper records of sales of
poisons were being kept and that the poisons were being
kept in a safe place. The poisons are used in connection
with horticulture and agriculture.
Four licences were issued during 1933.
SHOP ACTS 1912 TO 1931.
Three-hundred and fifty-six visits were made in respect
of the administration of the Shops Acts.
There appears to be a general desire on the part of
the shopkeepers to comply with the Acts, and but few
complaints were received during the year. Advice has
been given to shopkeepers respecting the various provisions
of the Acts and especially with regard to the proper notices
which should be exhibited in the shops regarding the halfday
closing and the half-holiday for assistants.
In cases where a shop is not closed at the proper time
the occupier is interviewed. This is followed up by a letter
giving particulars of the closing times, and a warning that
any further contravention will be reported to the
